He Completes Me

Publisher's Summary

Not even his mother's funeral can convince self-proclaimed party boy Zach Johnson to tone down his snark or think about settling down. He is who he is, and he refuses to change for anyone. When straight-laced, compassionate Aaron Paulson claims he's falling for him, Zach is certain Aaron sees him as another project, one more lost soul for the idealistic Aaron to save. But Zach doesn't need to be fixed, and he refuses to be with someone who sees him as broken. Patience is one of Aaron's many virtues. He has waited years for a man who can share his heart and complete his life, and he insists Zach is the one. Pride, fear, and old hurts wither in the wake of Aaron's adoring loyalty, and as Zach reevaluates his perceptions of love and family, he finds himself tempted to believe in the impossible: a happily ever after.

I’m not going to lie. I wanted to kill Zach before I finished reading four chapters.

But keep going….because you know what? CC does it again. She brings these human, flawed, wonderful characters to life and I became utterly invested in seeing the turnaround in Zach’s attitude and behavior (which he totally does – best redeemed character I’ve read in a long time). Also getting to see Aaron, who is honestly practically perfect in every way, actually being so well cared for (for a change) is wonderful. You need to see them get their HEA and I am so pleased with the way CC gets us to that point.

He Completes Me is tied with Walk With Me as my favorite in the Home collection series. Probably because, like Eli, Zach is snarky and wonderfully humorous. Seeing Zach grow from being a self-absorbed asshole to a loving, caring partner, while still retaining his snark, just makes me happy.

He Completes Me is told entirely from Zach’s perspective, and though I wish I could get Aaron’s perspective as well, Zach’s humor and sarcasm is enough to keep me thoroughly entertained. Collins captures Zach and Aaron’s personalities so well, he is just a pure pleasure to listen to. And my god, the sex scenes? We should have a SUPER-SCORCHER rating for them!

Each of the stories in the Home collection may be easily read as a standalone and you do not have to read them in any particular order. For me, one of the perks is getting to see characters I love from the other books in the series, like Jake and Nate (from Where He Ends and I Begin) and Eli and Seth (from Walk With Me) in particular, make appearances in the other stories – it’s just a real treat.

This story just makes me happy.

RECOMMENDED!

Note: This was originally published in audio book format November 20th 2012 with narrator Paul Morey.

Any of the other books in this series, they are all unlikely but deserved love storys.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Aaron went off on step-daddy dearest.

If you could rename He Completes Me, what would you call it?

I wish audible would remove this question from the template.

Zach Johnson finds himself back in Emil City for the first time in almost a decade for his mother’s funeral. It was his mother, her abusive, alcoholic husband and Zach’s intolerant family that drove him away in the first place. Years of mental and physical abuse that started before he came out, only intensifying after, made Zach the person he is today. He is strong, self-sufficient, successful, resilient and sadly, a little bitter. It is to be expected though.

Aaron Paulson is a tranquil river in Zach’s otherwise vibrant and sometimes chaotic life. The calm, coordinated, sexy Veterinarian is Zach’s brother’s best friend. From the second Aaron lays eyes on Zach, he knows that Zach belongs to him. But love is the last thing Zach wants in his life, so he pushes Aaron away and tries to distance himself from Aaron’s affection. The big guy just bides his time, waits for Zach to realize how they could complete each other.

Early on in this story I thought it was going to be another insta-love story. Aaron seriously gets attached to Zach overnight. But then as the story progresses and you learn more about Aaron’s past, what he’s been through, how old he is and come to realize, not only is he an old soul, but he has been waiting for his other half. The man has the patience of a saint and Zach tests those limits more than once. But then Zach hasn’t exactly had any type of positive in his life until he meets Aaron, and inadvertently reconnects with his brother Dean, his wife and their three children. While the story slowly unfolds and you learn more about Aaron, you are learning more about Zach as well, the hell had lived through before he turned eighteen and literally caught the first bus out of town.

Narrated by Alexander Collins, the same guy that voices all the books in this series. While I thought Collins performance in other books in this series was just okay, I loved it in this story. He managed to give Aaron and Zach completely different voices and held true to them from beginning to end.

He Completes Me is a love story about not only finding the other half of your soul, but figuring out who you are on the journey as well. Aaron and Zach share an intense, passionate connection. One that shows a different side of each man than the one the world sees. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would recommend it to anyone that likes flawed characters that find strength in each other.
